Simple Christmas Tablescape

A beautiful Christmas table doesn’t have to cost a lot. My Simple Christmas Tablescape is budget friendly and easy to put together.

I was recently given the opportunity to go on a mini shopping spree in my local CorningWare/Corelle store to find the perfect items to create a beautiful holiday tablescape as part of the Great Tablescape Challenge that they are hosting.

Even though I own and have personally bought many Corelle, Pyrex, CorningWare, and Snapware over the years, I had actually never been in one of their stores. It was a kitchen lovers paradise! I don’t know why I’ve never been, but I can’t wait to go back. There were dozens of plate designs, every size casserole dish, great knives, and so much more.

I decided to go with traditional Christmas colors. Once I found these beautiful plates, I thought it would be fun to mix and match the colors to create a really beautiful place setting. And look at these huge bowls…I can’t wait to serve a big salad or bowl of soup in those. They are just screaming to be used with something warm and toasty this winter.

I picked up some new knives from Chicago Cutlery and some new table linens because mine were really old and everything matched beautifully. Along with a couple replacement pieces to a serving bowl I got for my wedding shower 17 years ago.

The centerpiece on my table is my own that I picked up a couple years ago from a craft/hobby store and I think it’s perfect with this table. It’s low enough that you can see the person on the other side of the table (yep…that’s one of my pet peeves…lol).

I hope you are inspired to create your own simple Christmas tablescape this year. It will get you in the Christmas spirit and impress your family and guests. Don’t forget to stop by your local CorningWare/Corelle store to recreate this look at your home this year. Even better…enter win your own mini-shopping spree to a store near you.

I love your tablescape so pretty the colors just perfect and everything blended so well. I would love to do something like this for christmas dinner it will be the first time we have in in our new home.

I love your tablescape. It is so pretty and looks so cozy for Christmas! If I win the $250 gift card then I'll give it to my mother for Christmas. She has been wanting new dishes for several years now!

I love your tablescape. It looks so festive and cheerful as well as warm and welcoming. I would use the gift card to buy some new dishes as for the first time all of my family from up North is coming to my home for the holidays.

I think that the tablescape is very festive and comfortable without being too overwhelming. I would like to invest in something similarly decorative to help liven things up and add to the magic of the holiday season.

Your tablescape is very pretty and festive. I would use the GC to get a new set of Corelle dinnerware. My current set was a gift when I got my first apartment and is thirty years old. I just learned it was considered vintage! Time for a change......

Your tablescape is beautiful. Festive and not overly complicated. I love the deep bowls.I would spend the $250 on an everyday dishware set. I already have my grandmother's Christmas china for the holidays.

Your tablescape is lovely - I especially like that you could use the colors on other occasion as well, and they would look just fine. If I won, I would get some Thanksgiving pieces, and tablecloths in harvest colors!

I think your tablescape looks great for the holidays. The green plates and red napkins go very well together. I would use the gift card towards the Corelle Impressions Cheerful Flurry 16 Pc Dinnerware Set and the Corningware French White 4-Pc Oval Set.

I think it's beautiful and elegant. It's not overdone. I would use the gift card to replace a few Corelle plates that my kids have broken and then I would buy another set so I could have 2 to choose from. I would also buy some serving pieces and a large casserole dish.

I love how do-able your tablescape is-so often I get overwhelmed and think I can't recreate a look but I feel like I could do this. There is a beautiful set of embossed Bella Faenza plates I would get for our house.

I love the simplicity and pop of holiday color with your tablescape. I love the warmth from it as well it just screams the holidays to me. I would get a full table setting so I could have enough matching dishes for the whole family for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I like your tablescape for Christmas. It is very homey and warm, family friendly. I need a new set of dishes, something with quality and that will hold up in the microwave and dishwasher. I know Corelle would be perfect.

I really love the look of your tablescape. I like the choice of plate colors the green is festive for the holidays but quiet enough for a simple dinner. I would love to get an 8 piece dinnerware set and I could truly use some pretty flatware if I won the gift card.

I love the simple elegance of your tablescape -- very festive and inviting! I would love to try to create my own with dishes and decor from Corelle/CorningWare, perhaps a place setting with red, green, and gold accents.

I love your tablescape! The colors really blend well together and I like your ideas to use for my Holiday table. I will be buying some new Corelle dinnerware because they have the best styles and colors!!

I love your table settings. Very pretty and seasonal. The green looks like it could also be paired with something floral for spring time! If I won, I would buy me some new dishes. I have never had a new set!

I love the holiday colors in your tablescape. I am going to stick with the holiday theme too but add a bit of gold, blue and white to go with red. I will probably have a red background with white and blue serve ware and plates. I really hope to win this and make this holiday season remarkable and pretty.

I love the green and red you used, it definitely puts me in the Christmas mood! I'm not sure what I would do with the gift card, my brother is closing on his first house next month, so I might buy dishes for him, or I might use it to create a great holiday tablescape for myself.

i think it is awesome! i love the colors and cant wait for the holidays. i would use the gift card to get a new dining set for my house, our old roommate took ours when they moved out. no clue what print though.

I love it! Your table looks so festive. Love the combination of colors too.
If I won, I'd love to get new dishes. We host both Thanksgiving and Christmas and I'd love to be able to set a table with nice dishes, that match. I'd also like to buy some nice baking/serving dishes.

I think your tablescape is beautiful! I seem to always miss the elements which make it look this elegant. We have a local store and I go there very rarely because it is dangerous to our finances. It sure is kitchen heaven!I was raised by a mother who was raised by a mother using Corelle - our whole family uses it. I always love to add more pieces to my impressions set and drool over the Corning serving pieces.

Your table has me in the mood for the holidays! Can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas time with family and friends and great food. I would buy dishes for my daughter who is getting married next month.

What a beautiful tablescape, I love the classic colors of red and green and they always remind me of warmth and comfort at Christmas time. I love the snow tipped wreath with the holly you put on the table also, it reminds me of living in the snow many years ago. Very inviting.

I am so in love with your table scape, it is so festive! I love the colors, they all blend well, especially in the dishes, love the brushed look on the dinnerware. It is all simple, but outstanding. I would love to buy the Corelle Boutique Cherish 42-Pc Square Dinnerware Set to make my own holiday table scape.

I love the color and that it isn't too complex or fussy. It is very warm, inviting, and comfortable. With the spree I would replace our plates. The ones we use are cheap mismatched plates I got when I first moved out almost 20 years ago. We recently redid ouour kitchen, and this would be a perfect finishing touch.
